DTEK has closed its three Donetsk-based offices in connection with the tense situation in the city, the company's press service told Interfax on Wednesday.

"Most of employees have left for Zaporizhia, Dnipropetrovsk, and Zelenodolsk, where the company has other offices. Those who remain in Donetsk have been switched to remote work today," a spokesman for the company said.
